I am saying you have to find that fine line of balance, because it takes over using social skills. No one has conversations face to face because they can text in a few seconds. But if everyone was texting all the time, no one would ever talk to each other. What do you think? Do you think technology should be used like that? I am just curious, why?WhitneyA2014https://www.blogger.com/profile/17322391811922461122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075340317118605881.post-39795769664203776872010-11-01T09:24:17.592-06:002010-11-01T09:24:17.592-06:00Andrea:

It is meant to keep their minds occupied with certain things that the government has chosen. Government control is very prevalent in Harrison Bergeron, because the government put handicaps on everyone, to keep them from growing, thinking, or becoming better. The government control can also be shown in the Pedestrian, because the man who is walking is seen as different and weird because he is doing something that everyone else isn't. Government has controlled the way the people think, so that they feel they have to be a certain way. That creates a negative effect, and could eventually lead to people who act like robots. Technology is also shown through the TV in both those stories. Technology in our world today is growing and progressing, but I wonder when it will stop, or how it will keep influencing people in a negative way. I feel like society is changing for the worse,because technology is replacing other things. If we just use it in moderation, and in good ways, then our society would still be "normal."WhitneyA2014https://www.blogger.com/profile/17322391811922461122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075340317118605881.post-77614836533958800672010-11-01T09:19:42.364-06:002010-11-01T09:19:42.364-06:00Frank- Especially with this crazy blogging thats g...Frank- Especially with this crazy blogging thats going on.
